Although the novel "cancer building" is realistic, it is so meaningful that it has become a symbol and a fable about human nature and spirit. On the face of it, the author wrote"National Cancer"Is similar to"The Gulag Archipelago "Such former Soviet style concentration camps, but from a deeper point of view, are actually the spiritual slavery brought by totalitarianism and totalitarianism. The germs of this slavery have been wildly spread among the world. The suppression of individual spiritual freedom by this sick country is numbing. Freedom is unconsciously disappearing. People are still happily accepting slavery and are willing to accept all kinds of lies instilled by the state in individuals for the so-called best interests. Roussanov in "cancer building" is such a typical example

Both bureaucracy and personal worship complex are actually contempt, suppression and elimination of the independent character of countless individuals. Cancer in this sense is anti individual syndrome. When it breaks out, people will carry out legitimacy authorization for themselves in the name of collectivity, idea and justice, righteously deprive others of their individuality, and therefore experience the sense of holiness.

‘Solzhenitsyn is one of the towering figures of the age, as a writer, as moralist, as hero’ Edward Crankshaw

After years in enforced exile on the Kazakhstan steppes, a cancer diagnosis brings Oleg Kostoglotov to Ward 13. Brutally treated in squalid conditions, and faced with ward staff and other patients from across the Soviet Union, Kostoglotov finds himself thrown once again into the gruelling mechanics of a state still haunted by Stalinism.

One of the great allegorical masterpieces of world literature, Cancer Ward is both a deeply compassionate study of people facing terminal illness and a brilliant dissection of the “cancerous” Soviet police state. Withdrawn from publication in Russia in 1964, it became, along with One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, a work that awoke the conscience of the world.
